Just a little detail peek into a series of work I’ve been secretly plugging away at.

Any time there’s a full moon I rarely seem to sleep. But the last few days — amping things up with a crazy eclipse — sleep has literally been a no-go. I’m pretty sure I’ve been up for days now. Though last night I finally stopped “trying” to fall asleep & picked up the sketchbook instead. Anyone else experiencing the same lunar madness? Want to start a full moon insomnia sketchbook club with me?!?!?!! 🤪 🙃🥺 #fullmooninsomniasketchclub .. .. .. .. #conniesolera #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #watercolorpencils #drawing #dailydrawing #contemporarydrawing #womenwhodraw #art #artist #womanartist #womenartists #makeart #makearteveryday #portrait #creativeprocess #creativepractice #color #detail

Every sketchbook I have (& I have a few going on at one time) each have a specific medium & theme to them that I explore specifically in that sketchbook. For this sketchbook that I’ve been sharing here lately, my theme is to show up daily & use it like a diary. I think that’s why sometimes I only share a slice of a piece & not necessarily the whole page or spread. Typically, when I work in diary format like this, I feel most comfortable sharing it when there is some time & space between when I created it & when I share it. Though, ever since Covid started, that hasn’t been the case. I still feel a bit vulnerable putting these diary pieces out there so soon, but we’re all going through this stuff — so there’s no need to be so personal and private anymore. .. .. .. .. #conniesolera #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #watercolorpencils #drawing #dailydrawing #contemporarydrawing #womenwhodraw #art #artist #womanartist #womenartists #makeart #makearteveryday #portrait #creativeprocess #creativepractice #color

A brand new 2 ft x 3 ft pastel drawing has joined the family. I love seeing them altogether. .. .. .. .. .. #conniesolera #nightvisiondrawing #pastels #coloredpencil #softpastel #polychromos #drawing #dailydrawing #contemporarydrawing #pasteldrawing #makeart #makeaeteveryday #art #artist #womanartist #womenartist #creativeprocess #creativepractice #inthestudio

I did this little diddy last night in my sketchbook after having a bit of a 2020 kinda meltdown. (Know what I’m talking about?) Seriously, I don’t know how non-artist folks are managing life — it’s crazy how much art heals, supports, & “fixes things” again & again & again. .. .. .. .. .. #conniesolera #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #watercolorpencils #drawing #dailydrawing #contemporarydrawing #womenwhodraw #art #artist #womanartist #womenartists #makeart #makearteveryday #portrait #creativeprocess #creativepractice #color #detail

This week I went into a bit of a cave & all I did was draw with oil pastels. I mean draw & draw & draw. It was amazing. Then last night I painted again. (Can I get a hallelujah/hot damn!) Then this morning I woke up & immediately picked up my soft pastels. Then did another drawing just in color pencils. For the majority of my life I’ve been pretty dang faithful to paint — that’s mostly all I work with. But it hit me right now, I think artistic polygamy has become my “new normal”. .. .. .. .. .. #conniesolera #nightvisiondrawing #pastels #coloredpencil #softpastel #polychromos #drawing #dailydrawing #contemporarydrawing #pasteldrawing #makeart #makeaeteveryday #art #artist #womanartist #womenartist #creativeprocess #creativepractice #inthestudio #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook
